Rolling Stone calls Clams a 'visionary' and says his 'richly textured, poignant sound stands entirely on its own,' while The Guardian deemed him 'most likely to change the face of hip-hop.' SPIN calls his work 'fascinating and ominously exhilarating.'īorn and raised in New Jersey, Clams Casino aka Michael Volpe, began his career as a teenager, sending beats that he made in his mother's attic to rappers on MySpace. It's a cinematic trip, with an expertly selected cast of characters that rise to the challenge of matching the emotional heft and sonic breadth of the production. He lends ballads an otherworldly, percussive sheen confessional crooning a devastating sense of atmosphere and trunk-rattling bangers a swaggering menace. With 32 Levels, Clams expands upon his distinctive musical vocabulary. Instrumental versions of every track on the album are also presented here on the second LP. The album includes 12 original tracks and features vocal appearances from an impressive crew of collaborators, including A$AP Rocky, Lil B, Vince Staples, and more.
